Not funny. Anyone who would purport to be affected by 9/11 terrorism who did not directly lose someone in that act of war is exploiting the situation themselves, for a joke. While it is true that we were all emotionally affected, that in no way matches the loss of those who no longer have a family member with them at the dinner table. These "jokers" should be placed in a stock and subjected to thrown tomatoes at sunrise. Rotten ones. Aside from which their vast ignorance of JRRT is showing. ---djb

I've seen a discussion of this petition on a message board. I'm told (but
haven't checked myself) that it appears that the petition is either a joke or
most of the people signing it are treating it as a joke. I'm told that
there's also a counter-petition to keep the name.
